"SinXero" Beltran, Founder & Creative Director of TAG Public Arts Project. With the help of some of the world's top street artists (including NYC graffiti legend CRASH), SinXero's mission of "Enhancing The Visual Landscape of Urban Communities with Art" is becoming a reality.

Wall 2 Wall Women is another short film I shot and edited in the summer of 2014 here in Miami. The film documents the Wall 2 Wall Women project that featured South Florida's top female street artists taking on a 300 foot wall (along with sweltering heat, humidity and daily thunderstorms!) in the Bird Road Art District. The short film runs just over 10 minutes long.

Also screening at the festival is Project Mone't - an award-winning documentary short about a young artist who exorcises her demons through the creation of a beautiful monster made of steel. Looks like a terrific film - come check it out...

And the other film to be screened is another award-winning film, El Mar Y Él, a tragic-comedy about a man's quest to flee Cuba during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift. The film screened at the Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner in 2015...
